TRENTON — Nearly eight years after Amber Ramsey’s badly decomposed body was found in an abandoned building, her family has settled with the city over police officers’ failure to notify them.

The city council last night approved a $75,000 settlement with Linda Ramsey, who filed suit against the city in 2010 alleging that police officers hadn’t notified her that the body of her 21-year-old daughter, Amber, had been found.

In August 2006, officers found Amber Ramsey’s badly decomposed body in an abandoned building on Spring Street, six months after her mother had reported her missing.

Despite the presence of more than a dozen pieces of identification in a jacket found under the body, her family was not notified of her death until March 2008, as county coroners could not find conclusive DNA evidence.

“The Ramsey family wanted to put this matter behind them for closure and came to the conclusion that no amount of money in the world could make up for the pain they endured,” said Robin Lord, an attorney representing Linda Ramsey.

The $75,000 settlement only represents the city’s portion of a $150,000 settlement, assistant city attorney Peter Cohen said last night. Mercer County, Ewing Township and the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office will all contribute the remainder of the funds, Cohen said.
